The house
My house
Not anymore
It was late
It was dark
We opened the door
A paper fell
I picked it up
Went to my room
Then plugged in the light to read
I never should have
I read
"Foreclosure"
"Up for auction"
"Hennepin county sheriff’s office"
I had hope
I never should have

CRAZY final
Nothing that it was before it is no more/ there was something here yet there was nothing here/ I miss spending days in nothing making fun out of something/ old summers past but not at last but as if stripped from me with my last gasp/ I'm sitting here without you where you never were/ the green aroma of your leaves glazed with morning dew/ you were always filled with life but never truly alive/ now you are not living but to me you are not dead/ not hearing you out loud for words you cannot say/ but hearing them inside my head til near the end of day

CRAZY POEM (I'm sorry for the torture)
Nothing that it was before it is no more
there was something here yet there was nothing here
I miss spending days in nothing making fun outta something
Old summers past but not at last but as if strippen from me with my last gasp
I'm siting here without you where you never were
I miss you like I miss sweet nothings because we truly had something
you are not living but to me you are not dead
not hearing you out loud for words you cannot say
hearing them inside my head til near the end of day
there was something here yet there was nothing here
I miss spending days in nothing making fun outta something
Old summers past but not at last but as if strippen from me with my last gasp
I'm siting here without you where you never were
I miss you like I miss sweet nothings because we truly had something
you are not living but to me you are not dead
not hearing you out loud for words you cannot say
hearing them inside my head til near the end of day

DARIUS
Not like you got any better. What you riding around a huffy?

DARIUS
So, do we go up or wait out here or what?

JOSH
Well, he asked what color car we were in and then he said to wait fifteen minuets.
DARIUS
Are you sure this guy cool? He aint gunna try and jump us is he?

DARIUS
Alright but this shit better be bomb as hell cause I used a bit of gas.

[Looking pretty happy at the thought of his girlfriend]
Actually we’re doin great. Funny you bring her up right now. That reminds me I was gunna tell you I might have to quit this shit soon.
JOSH
[Noticing DARIUS’ look turn from happy to a bit ashamed]

DARIUS
[Pauses for a few moments]
Well, it’s my girl.
JOSH
[Rolling his eyes]
Well I kind of figured that but why?
DARIUS
[The happiness coming back to his face]
I’m gunna propose to her. I’ve had it in my head for about a month now. Now I NEED to propose to her though. I have it all planned out how I’m gunna do it and everything. I even used my new car money to buy her a ring.
JOSH
[Totally blown away by what DARIUS had said]
WHAT! Yer gunna propose? A month? You need to? You have it planned? Darius are you kidding me you’ve been saving that money for almost 3 years. What if she says no why do you need to?
DARIUS
[Smiling as big as he can]

JOSH
[Interrupting DARIUS]
What! She’s Pregnant!
DARIUS
Josh I can’t just sit around smoking weed and drinking the rest of my life. I got her pregnant and you know I’m not the kind of guy to walk out on my girl. Its gunna be hard having a kid and being married but I’m willing to deal with that shit I love her man.
JOSH
[Yelling]
What the hell man! When did you go and freaking grow up? Last night when I was at that party cause this is the first I herd of this. Well whatever man lets just not talk about this right now. I just wanna get high and chill with my boy for as much longer as he is my boy at least.

JOSH
[Shrugs his shoulders]
Yeah whatever man. I’m sorry about just blowing up on you but it’s just all my boys are getting responsible n shit. I feel like a hobo cause I aint gone nowhere and I doubt I ever will. I’m sorry man I should be happy for you. So yer gunna have a wedding and everything?

JOSH

DARIUS
Alright good I’ll let my girl know I’m sure she’ll be happy. So you wanna see the ring now?
JOSH

[Both JOSH and DARIUS start laughing]
DARIUS
[Opens the ring box and shows it to JOSH]
See I picked it myself you think she’s gunna like it?
JOSH
Damn boy! You must love this girl. I aint never seen you buy something like that for yourself. To be honest you wouldn’t even buy something fake that looked that nice for yourself.
[JOSH and DARIUS break into laughter again]
DARIUS
Yeah, I love her man, I really love her.
[Just as Darius is putting the ring away he feels something cold and hard against the side of his forehead]
DARIUS
Oh shit.

[Realizing DARIUS had a gun held up to his head by the so called “crack head looking mofo” that was “cool”]
